Hunter Hunted

Yes, I hunt vampires. I have been telling you this for hours now. Welcome to the story.

So, tell me about vampire hunting. Why do you feel you need to hunt them Kevin?

Why Doc? Why should I bother? You're not going to listen. You just think I am crazy.

I am listing now, Kevin. Tell me about hunting please.

Okay sure. I'll tell you all about it. I think the thing I hate the most is the smell; it's called grave rot. It burns your nose. It is awful. I don't mind crawling around in dark damp crypts. I don't even mind crawling over the dead bodies they like to sleep in, but that smell. It is something you never forget.

So tell me about when you became a vampire hunter.

Oh I see you think I'm going to have a sad story, like my mom was killed by one or maybe my girlfriend was seduced and turned vampire and now I hunt the master to save her. Nope. The truth is I had a great child hood. My mom lives in Miami and my girlfriend is alive and well and has no craving for blood. She has never even seen a vampire. No, I found out about vampires because of another hunter worked with me in a gas station and one night he asked me to come along. Yup that is it, simple and sad as it is.

Like you, I did not believe in vampires but there they were and we killed them. I was hooked from then on spent all my time hunting these things.

I see. So vampires: tell me about them. How do you hunt them?

What? How do I find them? Or how do we kill them?

Whichever. Tell me about how you find them.

Well, it's simple. You just look for a number of disappearances in a area. You go there, you find the nest, and you kill the things. It's not hard. These beasts are gluttons and they cannot control themselves.

So they cannot control themselves, you're saying they must be killed. So how do you kill them?

Yes, they must be killed. They are no better them animals and like the dogs they are, they must be put down and I like to do it by removing the head. Sure, some guys like the wooden stake, some guys like to use holy water. But me, I like my machete.

So you were out hunting vampires the night police picked you up, and the girl's body you were found over was the victim of the vampire? Yup it was and she was a tricky one, Doc. I have been hunting her for months now and she has left behind a trail of victims. A trail So you think you were close to catching this one, do you?

Yes, I was very close.

Until the police got you.

See Doc, the funny thing about the police is they know about hunters. They keep it a secret, and oh yeah remember the smell? Some vampires try very hard to hide the smell, but it's always there. No matter what. See Doc, I always get my vampire and I can smell you.

Comment I liked this one, but I did figure out where it was going before the end it was fun to write
